Mikheil Tumanishvili Actors Studio Theater

The theater-studio of actor Mikheil Tumanishvili in Tbilisi is one of the important centers of theatrical art in Georgia, distinguished by its unique approach to theatrical work and training of actors. Founded in 1978, the theater was inaugurated on a day traditionally celebrated as Georgian Theater Day, which emphasizes its importance in the cultural life of the country.
